Stanton Hall

Stanton Hall : Michelin's recommendations

Master builder Thomas Rose completed this grand white stucco mansion, with Corinthian columns, 17ft-high ceilings and 50ft-long double parlors, for Irish-immigrant cotton broker and planter Frederick Stanton in 1857. Stanton called his home "Belfast" and planted 19 live oak trees (17 survive) on his property, which encompasses an entire block in the heart of downtown.
